Continued from Makam (Tomb of) Siti Khadijah.

Dalam perjalanan menghala kembali ke Masjidil Haram saya tergerak untuk singgah di masjid ini.

On the way heading back to Masjidil Haram (holy mosque of Mecca) I was moved to stop at this mosque.

Letaknya berhadapan Masjid Jin.

Its location is facing the mosque of Djinns.

Saya diberitahu namanya adalah Masjid Syajarah.

I was told its name is the mosque of Syajarah.

Syajarah bermakna pokok. Menurut ceritanya di sini pernah berdiri sebuah pohon kurma yang istimewa.

Syajarah means tree. According to the stories one stood here a special date tree.

Pokok ini istimewa kerana dikatakan pernah berjalan beberapa kali kerana dipanggil Nabi Muhammad SAW.

This tree is special as it is said that once it walked a few feet to answer the call of Nabi Muhammad SAW.

Nabi mahu menunjukkan mukjizatnya kepada beberapa orang. Pokok itu kemudian disuruh kembali ke tempat asal.

The prophet wanted to demonstrate his miracles to a number of people. The tree then was asked to return to its original position.
